I am almost sure that the First Americans (native) had a trick for silencing a troublesome cough when they needed to be absolutely quiet while hunting or on the warpath. I have Googled myself silly looking for such a thing, and never found a satisfying answer. Still looking and asking...
What is your favorite way of silencing coughs when you don't need to be advertising your location?
Some time ago, at a sporting goods store I bought a tube looking thing that you could cough into, and it was supposed to muffle the sound. My experience with it was not all that great; maybe I just haven't mastered it enough? I dunno, but I thought it made me sound like a dying rhino with a cold.
It sucks a bag of lemons to sit at home on opening day.
I don't get colds often and don't have a chronic cough, but when you're nursing the after-affects of a cold, it can ruin an otherwise great day.
(edited to add: how did that hyperlink get into that last sentence?)
